THBS4 - thrombospondin 4 Gene
Also Known as TSP4; TSP-4
Species: Homo sapiens
About THBS4
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 281 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 161.8), heart (RPKM 56.3) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the thrombospondin protein family. Thrombospondin family members are adhesive glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. This protein forms a pentamer and can bind to heparin and calcium. It is involved in local signaling in the developing and adult nervous system, and it contributes to spinal sensitization and neuropathic pain states. This gene is activated during the stromal response to invasive breast Cancer. It may also play a role in inflammatory responses in Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
